‘Nelly’s By Night’ Team

Nicole Winchester - Lead Producer & Writer


Nicole Winchester played her first D&D adventure at age six, joined the cast of an improv show inspired by Vampire: The Masquerade in high school, and grew up to become an ‘international larper of mystery,’ travelling on epic immersive adventures around the world. A narrative designer for TTRPGs, larps, and immersive experiences, she has written for Green Ronin’s The Expanse RPG, Dziobak Larp Studios, John Wick Presents’ 7th Sea, Atropos Studios, The Fate Codex, the Toronto Star and more. Nicole draws on her background in media to create with dramatic story and cinematic sensibility, examining themes of identity, memory, privilege, and marginalization, and exploring the past for stories missed by history. She is a co-founder of Fair Escape Studios, a DM for hire at Storm Crow Manor, and an award-winning social media storyteller and veteran of three Olympic Games with CBC Sports. She can be found everywhere online @noizangel and at nicolewinchester.com.

Gary Winchester - Producer & Writer


Gary Winchester is a co-founder of Fair Escape Studios, a veteran Toronto larp organizer, and a designer, RPG writer, and game master who enjoys storytelling across genres. He is an award-winning veteran at the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, where he manages metadata and all the content you see on CBC Gem.

Lysander Kristian - Character Writer


Lysander is a Danish art student who is a freelance model in his free time. He has worked as a sexworker in the past and is fiercely passionate about writing good characters who also work within that profession. He likes larps with strong emotions, relations and most importantly, vampires. He’s hoping to join a Canadian vampire game one day, but as of right now - he’s probably updating his meme page Bad Larp Memes on Facebook and obsessing over queer historical figures. You can find him on Facebook and Instagram.
